Deep learning for facial analysis

Deep learning for facial analysis

When we think about some particular person, very often we imagine his or her face, smile and different unique facial features. We know how to recognize the person by it’s face, understand his emotions, estimate his age, almost with 100% certainty tell his gender. Human vision system can do these and many other things with faces very easily. Can we do the same with modern artificial intelligence algorithms, in particular, deep neural networks? In this article I would like to describe most of the common tasks in facial analysis, also providing references to already existing datasets and deep learning based solutions.
